"08" would be an octal number because it begins with a "0",
but 8 is not a legal character in octal numbers.  
So "08" evaluates to NaN (not a number), which is not a 
valid array index.
I agree that the error message could be clearer.
A simpler assignment produces a clearer message:

gnuplot> N = 08 
              ^
         unexpected or unrecognized token: 8
